“It hasn’t gone as well as everybody expected it to go with H, then he picks up this awful knee injury which has kept him out for weeks.

“The last couple of weeks in particular more like H again and we all know he’s been a good player at this level, so hopefully he’s found his feet and it’ll give him that little bit of confidence. He looked a very good player when he came on.”

Aston Villa are fourth in the Championship table with 36 points on board.
